The current Megamillions jackpot is >$1,600,000,000. The previous high was $646,000,000. Next drawing is Tuesday. This bodes to be a two billion dollar jackpot by then. Insanity will set in, and get worse if nobody hits the numbers on Tuesday.

And before you say it, people do win the Megamillions lotteries, always.

I've never played the lottery. Never saw the point.

Never gambled at all?

Nope.  Never stepped into a casino, nor have I ever done Bingo.

Nowt wrong with gambling, but odds of 300 000 000 to 1 against is a mug's game.

Dreams are cheap at $2 a ticket.

I’m so going to win

Fuck working late on Fridays then bitches

I wonder what the odds are that someone will break in my apt and leave a billion dollars even if I don’t buy a ticket...

It is a voluntary game, and I've spent more on toys than a dollar.

True. I used to risk my life on a daily basis, risking a dollar or two isn't a stressor for me. I might not win if I buy tickets, but I definitely won't win if I don't.

I don't buy lottery tickets on a regular basis , but when it gets this high I waste a few bucks. I bought two on MegaMillions and two on Powerball yesterday. Powerball is over 470 million right now. I am told I look younger than my age but if I win either of these I will look like Keith Richards within a year.

I buy it when it gets super high (like now). I see it as my $2 contribution to the NC education funds. Or whatever part of that $2 actually goes there.

I also play scratch offs, probably too often. Most I've won is $40 on a $2 ticket.
